Moving from cell to cell is very slow!!
in a machine with all office updates and xp sp2, when using excell (2000) if
you move from cell to cell either to edit data or just to format a group of cells it takes about a minute. even in a new empty excel spread sheet. is there a setting or maybe one of the updates cause the program to do a search or something to delay the switching between cells? any help would be appreciated. |

On all worksheets/workbooks? It's possible that you have a macro that you trigger when you change the selection. /Fredrik |

However, I can not say weither it is caused by an XP update. Other machines with the same configurations have the same update and they do not have the same problem. thanks for the help. Skoal |

Skoal Does XP refer to Office or Windows? I guess something could have gone wrong with this particular update. I like to make a ghost image of my machine immediately after having installed th OS and my most commonly used applications. I have found that the performance seems to degrade over time Anyway, I have found a KB article that may help http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=815049 /Fredrik |

I was referring to an update to XP (the O/S) that may be causing the individual problem to this machine. I know of one XP "hotfix" that caused a file save problem, that's why I was wondering if anyone knew of another that directly related to Excel. I am still searching the knowledge base. thanks for the assistance. |
